I heard that some of these shows will be transcribed soon ... this will be great to be able to scan the text, and use it as a springboard for further thinking and quotation. The audio shows are great! but having the text accessible makes it even more awesome

Note: BlogTalkRadio had technical difficulties tonight and had to reset our show, so the first few minutes are a little shaky. But keep listening...we managed to do the whole show.

Questions/Topics

Sinead91: Spectra

Bereaved Daughter: Deceased mother haunting her through her dreams? which led to discussion about what happens after 'death,' healing in between incarnations, angels, how to know if it really is a haunting, or is it just the self's own issues, is it necessary to resolve negative emotions in order to polarize, the purpose of forgiveness, etc.

Me: Walk-ins...just how rare are they? How to know if one is a walk-in?

Carla sounded really great tonight, and her answers especially thorough and insightful! This is a must-listen!

We'll continue the Archetypes discussion next week, as well as address a couple of questions in the queue that we didn't get to tonight.

It's rare that I don't resonate with the Q'uo material, but this was one of those times. Carla graciously invited me to explain what parts of the reading didn't resonate with me, so I did, and she and Jim responded.

Questions/Topics

plenum: Who are your spiritual role models?

?? (not sure who asked this, sorry!) Does Carla sing when she channels?

ChickenInSpace: any thoughts as to the number of unpolarized entities this Harvest?

NotSure: What is Q'uo's favorite TV show?

unir1: Do questions from forum-posters ever get asked to the channeled entities?

This led to an in-depth discussion about addictions, fantasizing, whether sexual fantasizing hurts oneself or one's partner, whether fantasizing affects real beings in other dimensions, the importance of choosing to be resonant with the Law of One while indulging in fantasies in order to accept them so they fall away as they're no longer needed, connecting on the various chakra levels, etc.

This led to an in-depth discussion which took almost the whole hour, about the energy centers, outgoing/inpouring energies, whether animals are other-selves, seeing the Creator in all, and lots more. Both Carla and Jim offered valuable insights, and I suggested looking at a particular Ra quote backwards in order to reconcile what seemed, at first glance, like a contradiction. Jim gave an excellent example of how to do the daily balancing, and Carla offered insights on giving and receiving love, irrespective of whether it is received by others.

This led to an in-depth discussion which took about 40 minutes, about the nature of death, what is lost and what is retained, what is of eternal value, whether we can retain more of our memories, mindfulness, etc.

Carla spent the rest of the hour telling the fascinating story about hers and Don's interactions with Andrija.

I listened to this show a day after it was aired. If I had been listening live I would have called in to comment on "meditation in action." I have been doing that for years, since I started working for myself at home, alone.

Think of an artist, when they are "in the groove" painting. This is a meditative state; in other words, in the now--no past, no future (except the vision of what's being created)--and no words or thoughts at that point. I'm a writer and illustrator, and both actions can be meditations. My focusing skills as a result are remarkable. When writing, the added benefit is that you channel things that seem to come out of nowhere. I recommend that everyone try some form of writing for this reason. It's magical (in the sense that it feels delicious).
